How The GOP Gave Us Judicial Equality

By The Daily Dish

A reader notes:

The Prop 8
case now makes three consecutive judicial opinions holding that laws prohibiting
same-sex marriages have no rational basis. Interestingly, all three were
authored by judges who were nominated or appointed by Republicans. Today’s
Northern District of California opinion was authored by Judge Vaughn Walker, who
was nominated by Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. Last month’s District of
Massachusetts opinion was authored by Judge Joseph Tauro, who was nominated by Richard Nixon. The Iowa
Supreme Court (unanimous) opinion was authored by Justice Mark Cady, who was
appointed by Republican Governor Terry E. Branstad.
